This piece is HUGE.. and most of the tiny knotwork is hardly visible.. sadly.. Not to mention that shrinking it down so bad removed all the clearness of all the individual feathering that is visible on the original

Made a glorious poem to accompany this piece. I think every should pop over and read it, since it completes the story I'm trying to convey.

the poetry... the concept is absolutely amazing... the sublime beauty that exudes from it, the sense of peace makes me want to write.. Would you mind if I wrote a poem based on the Storyteller telling stories to the moon as portrayed by you?

Not at all! I've always felt this piece needed a story or a poem So please, be my guest And when you've written something and posted it here, be sure to send me a link so I can include it herewith this piece!

I know I wouldn't mind a watermark in the particular image if I were to appreciate its finer details more. Not that I like watermarks either but I guess you can't have everything

Maybe this could be judged by you on a per-image basis. If you think, as the creator, that your effort is downplayed by the image-size factor then maybe you should opt for a watermarked bigger-size image. You could also watermark the image yourself in a way you see fit so that it both protects your work and doesn't distract too much from it, if you find the DA standard watermark not very subtle.
Just an idea

Even if you lost a bunch of detail when you shrunk the image down for DA, it's still absolutely stunning. The details! The subdued color scheme! The border treatment! *happy sigh* Simply stunning. I'm going to join the crowd of instant-favorites now...
